Genotype Responsiveness to Exogenous Auxin in the Stem Cutting of Coleus scutellarioides

Plant Propagation Advances Supporting Sustainable Horticulture
 Researchers investigated how different genotypes of Coleus scutellarioides respond to exogenous auxin during stem cutting propagation. The findings highlight significant variations in rooting ability and growth responses, providing insights into genotype-dependent plant propagation strategies. This supports SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

The study demonstrates how optimizing plant growth regulators in propagation can improve horticultural efficiency and biodiversity conservation. This approach supports sustainable ornamental plant production and contributes to resource-efficient agriculture.
